CFO Connect - Generations

The CFO Connect is a joined initiative from the ACCA and Robert Half . This event is based on international successful CFO events from Robert Half. CFO Connect offers interesting insights in important topics for every CFO and it provides CFOs in the region a platform to share their knowledge and experience and expand their network. CFO Connect is organized 3 times a year. Participation is on personal invitation only.

On Wednesday the 23rd of February the first CFO Connect event will take place in the prestigious Monarch Hotel in Dubai. The topic of this first CFO connect is ´Generations at the workplace´. This topic is high on the lists of many CFOs as more and more research shows that in order to keep your best people and ensure a solid talent base within your finance department for now and the future you need to listen to and anticipate the differences between the  generations.

During the first CFO Connect James Sayer (Robert Half) and Deepak Chainini (ACCA) will provide you with interesting insights that will support you in managing your multi generational workforce with a maximum ROI. Both Robert Half as the ACCA have done extensive research to what this means to you as an employer.
